Four Month Update
Updates

We have survived another Well Child Exam.  Anna weighs 14 lbs 12 oz.  She was cooperative and provided a good stretch to show she is 24 ½ inches long.  Only a couple of times did she try to roll off the table.  Anna let the nurse practioner that was shadowing her doctor even hold her at one point. 

All was good until those ladies came in with their needles and immunizations.  The oral was given first and the lady seemed to do it drop by drop, which surprise surprise Anna didn’t like.  She then stated that it would likely be difficult to get Anna to take medicines.  I told her that I just put it all in her month with one push of the plunge, Anna jumps in surprise, maybe a drop escapes, Anna makes funny faces and all is okay again.  The lady had no response.  And then came the screams of having to hold Anna down for the 4 shots in the legs.  Poor thing.  Damion held her for almost 15 minutes before she was calm enough to put in the car seat.  She fell asleep on the way home.

Anyways, as Damion mentioned yesterday, pictures have been added to the gallery.  Actually four new albums have been added (3 for March and 1 for April).  So click your way over there to see how big Anna is getting and how adorable she is.

Jess added a few pictures, but the gallery isn't showing thumbnails for some reason.  They are in the Anna gallery.  I really like this one from them...

 Check out the hair!

Happy Easter!
Stuff and Things

Today has been a pretty slow day in our household.  We went to the 8 a.m. church service at East White Oak.  The drive there resulted in the observation that you can tell how late you are to church based on when you have to start braking for the stop signs.  Today it was 500 feet away, not too bad if you ask me.  Needless to say 8 a.m. service had a lot of space in both the parking lot and the sanctuary.  It had to have been one of the best Easter services I have ever been too.  Note – this was my first holiday service at EWO.  The music was great with a small orchestra to back up the vocals.  I enjoyed watching the drummer play with a suit on and decided that was a skill on top of a skill.  The sermon was on the Eight Miracles in the Book of John.  The sad part was that I forgot a pen so no notes were taken, but I think I’ll actually remember this whole service without any notes.

Next weekend we will be going to my parents’ house for Easter festivities.  Fortunately next weekend should be warmer so Anna can sport some of the cute spring outfits she has.  After then we may go to Chicagoland to visit Damion’s family.  The best part is that Anna will meet her great grandfather and her great grandmother.  As a person who has photos taken with 7 of her 8 grandparents, I’m excited about those meetings for her.

On Tuesday, Anna has her four month doctor’s visit.  This means another round of immunizations but also the introduction of rice cereal to her diet.  To me, that is a little bit exciting.  On that day or the next there will be a full update on her, her activities and hopefully pictures from March to day.  Until then you’ll have to enjoy this picture of her trying to take off which I took today……

BTW - the pink elephant is Tantor.....her security elephant....because everybody needs a security elephant.

Are you a train?
The Funny

Fact - our house is about a half mile from train tracks.  Since we moved in we have slept with the windows shut.  While taking care of Anna in the early morning hours, I would hear the train in the distance and not think much of it.

Last night we slept with the windows open (Yeah Spring!).  At 5:17ish a train came through town and it was nice enough to announce its presence several times.  The best part was Damion shouted, “Alright!  I get it!  You’re a train!”, rolled over and put the pillow over his head to go back to sleep.

Website status update...
Our Website
Written by Damion   
Friday, 16 March 2007

Well, that sure was fun.  Our hosting provider (me) had some server problems.  They are fixed now, but it involved rebuilding the server that provides damionandjess.com.  So, welcome back.  We had a couple of hours today that we were totally unavailable and our site wasn't working that well over the past couple days anyway.  

On other notes... it's about time for a site redesign, huh?  I haven't mucked anything up lately on the site, and I think it's about time I did.  Any ideas about layout?  Post 'em in the comments...

All I can say is that I have plans for a "TV" show that will be available here at damionandjess.com.  I haven't decided to use YouTube or Google Video.  Some say that Google is the new spawn of satan, but it's still a valid option.  Post your comments... NOW!
